Hi
Is there a way of seeing how many KW the charger is putting into the battery whilst charging ?
Thanks Jerry

Not directly but you can scroll through the drivers information screen (after the trip meters)and see the energy being taken /used in amps. I beleive you can calculate it from that.

kW = (V x A)/1000.
V from the left side of the screen and A from the right.

Hang on... nobody said owning a MG would involve maths.

As a matter of interest are you talking about home charging or charging elsewhere?

This is where one of the decent apps you can get would come in useful, it will calculate it for you. It's a bit awkward to do it manually using dash V & A as the voltage is changing during the charge process.

Both, just interested to see if the chargers output what they say, and the car takes what is supposed too.
